Thanks, yes it is, very fine work. Also when you consider the small size 23 x 36cm of the artwork.

Nice how it reveals the exterior which kind of steals the attention from the timeless romance story. A very popular subject matter having many painted works based on them through centuries.

Yes I like that too, gives great depth to the painting. They both have a different view on each other after drinking the love potion.

Lovely. Seems like the sort of Art Nouveau that was a big influence on Barry Windsor Smith.

I'd say BWS certainly liked Pre Raphaelite, and Neoclassicism. Along with Romanticism these movements gave powerful images and stories full of wonderful characters. These area I gravitate to in any museum or gallery. This is the illustrated art of their times, and are going to have an impression on artists that follow. Without Matania, then Krenkel may not have been who he was, and of course he was an influence for many that follower from Frazetta to Wrightson.
